Customer Reviews

As Good As A Live Show Gets.
Moving away from the America themed (obsessed?)'Joshua Tree' era and directing their attention towards Europe(mostly Germany) with the startling 'Achtung Baby' and 'Zooropa',U2 followed the yellow-brick road to Oz and at the Sydney Cricket Stadium performed their finest recorded concert.As the pre-concert PA belts out 'Television The Drug Of The Nation' by The Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy you can almost taste the anticipation of the Australian audience as giant TV screens depict images of Nazi-Germany,state control and tell us to 'WATCH MORE TV!'.The camera zooms in on Bono,dressed in leather,siloueted in a spotlight and elevated on a platform while kicking his jack-booted feet to waist height.He cooly throws his cigarette away and joins the rest of the group for the opener 'Zoo Station'.They perform the majority of their 1991 (and probably their best) album 'Achtung Baby'.The highlights are numerous and never-ending,Lou Reed appearing on a big screen while he and Bono duet on 'Satellite Of Love',Bono flicking through Australian TV stations with a giant remote control and waving to himself as U2 perform 'Where The Streets Have No Name' while the original video is played on the giant screen in the background.The finale of 'Lemon' and 'Daddy's Gonna Pay For Your Crashed Car' is something to savour as Bono telephones The President Of The USA at The Whitehouse and a local taxi firm from the stage to take him home.A female 'fan' climbs on stage during the last song 'Love Is Blindness' and hugs Bono throughout the song,this may be a part of the show but it is still very effective.
This is more than a concert,it is political,theatrical and pure entertainment as U2 re-invented themselves as THE premier rock band of the early 1990's.On it's release in 1995 it was arguably the most innovative,entertaining and original concert film to date.

Hair on the back of the neck time
This dvd features my greatest single gig moment. The way Where The Streets Have No Name builds and builds to the moment you are bathed in white light will never be surpassed. Worth buying the dvd for that reason only

Welcome to Zoo TV yall...
Having been a U2 fan for many years, this is without doubt the best I have seen them. This is a must buy for all U2 fans and anyone that appreciates musicianship and how to play a live gig. Bono is on another plain here, his vocals are more than stunning. Edge plays faultless powerfull guitar taking their moving sound to another level. Adam Clayton is the unsung hero having collapsed the night before from a breakdown, he carries himself and the band through the songs. Larry Mullen Jnr is the backbone of this band and it shows. They are just the best at doing this kind of thing and continue to this day. This is how a band should be, playing with passion and totaly in control. The extras are a great insight into the ZOO TV experience including the disturbing diary room. My favourite section of the gig has to be Bono's vocals on the end of 'Running To Stand Still' - a moving experience that sends shivers down your spine. I wish I'd been there. Go buy this if you love music and love live bands. This is how it should be done.
